On being spread out in time

temporal parts and the problem of change

Peter Simons

pp. 131-147

What is change? There are two opposed views: the substratum view, which goes back to Aristotle, and the replacement view, which goes back at least to Hume. The substratum view is that change consists in an object (the substratum) having first one attribute, then another attribute contrary to the first.
